A 49-year-old Alto man remains in critical condition after being shot during a domestic dispute Friday night.

A man, later identified as David L. Williams, called 911 at 9:24 p.m. Friday saying someone had been shot at 111 Enchanted Forest Loop in Alto. When they arrived, deputies found Williams with a cut on his arm and discovered the victim with a gunshot wound. Authorities did not say exactly where the man was shot.

Both Williams, 52, and the gunshot victim, 49, were transported to Lincoln County Medical Center for treatment. The gunshot victim was then transported to University Medical Center in El Paso for further treatment and Lincoln County Undersheriff Ken Cramer said Monday the man remains in critical condition.

Deputies determined there had been a struggle between the two men in the home and following interviews with both men, deputies arrested Williams on a charge of aggravated battery on a household member, a third-degree felony.

Williams is being held in Lincoln County Detention Center pending a court appearance.
